2015 has come and gone with no area left unscathed. We've seen natures majestic intensity and man committing horrific acts. We've seen nations on the brink and hero's made on the field. We saw icons fall from grace and graceful beauty on the catwalk. We saw it all in 2015.
Headlines
The world suffered multiple atrocities with terrorists wreaking havoc indiscriminately killing in Paris and abroad while smaller groups of armed individuals killed with mass shootings and racial profiling.
Mother nature's awesome force was felt by those elsewhere with earthquakes in Nepal and more but it was man who taught nature with the killing of Cecil the lion and a climate on the edge.
Business
The world teetered on the edge early in the year with Greece threatening to break the Eurozone but pulled through in the end. After that it was business as usual with some straying off the beaten path seeing VW involved in a massive emissions scandal and a pharmaceutical CEO on an ego trip.
Sports
The world saw world class athlete's compete on the world stage with the Rugby World Cup going to New Zealand and the New England Patriots winning the Super Bowl but it was FIFA that made headlines with a massive corruption scandal that sent shock waves around the globe.
Entertainment
The entertainment world celebrated at the usual awards ceremonies with all the expected festivities but it was individual entertainers who left their mark. While we lost some talent it was the darker side that made news with Bill Cosby's spectacular fall from grace as sexual assault victims emerged from all corners.
Technology
The world of technology saw the tech giants show their wares with new gadgets hitting the markets with new promises of a better life. It was also a time for man's achievements to take the spot light with the New Horizons craft reaching the farthest reaches of our solar system and private companies pushing the envelope to reach space.
Style
The beautiful people made sure they were seen with the Fashion Weeks drawing the fashion elite in droves while celebrities clambered for the spotlight in designer gowns and headed massive campaigns.
